Definitions
- the present invention relates to silicon-tin compounds and more particularly to silicon-tin compounds that are obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and organic tin compounds and their use as crosslinking agents for organopolysiloxane compositions.
- compositions obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters such as tetraethyl orthosilicate, and organic tin compounds such as dibutyltin dilaurate and their use as crosslinking agents for organopolysiloxane compositions to form elastomers are described in German Pat. No. 1,167,527 to Wegriken Bayer Aktiengesellschaft.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,186,963 to Lewis also discloses a catalyst system for vulcanizing silicone elastomer stocks at room temperature in which the catalyst is prepared by heating for at least 15 minutes at a temperature of from 80° to 200° C. a tin salt of a carboxylic acid and an alkylsilicate or partial hydrolysis products of said silicates.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,927,052 to Vizurraga discloses a polymerization catalyst for preparing polyesters which is obtained from the reaction of a first silicon compound of the formula ##STR1## with a second compound of the formula ##STR2## in a mole ratio of from 1.1 to 20 moles of the second compound per mole of the first compound for from two to six hours, in which M may represent a tin atom, R 2 and R 4 are chlorine or hydroxy groups and the other R substituents are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, acyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, and hydrogen, provided that at least one of R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 is not hydrogen.
- the products obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound of this invention have certain advantages over the silicon-tin compounds described in the prior art in crosslinking diorganopolysiloxane-based compositions to form elastomers.
- diorganopolysiloxane based compositions containing the product obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound can be crosslinked much more rapidly without decreasing the pot-life of the composition.
- the crosslinking agents obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound may be stored at room temperature or heated to a temperature up to 60° C. without a substantial decrease in the crosslinking rate or without substantially altering the pot-life.
- a crosslinking agent for organopolysiloxane compositions Another object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent for room temperature vulcanizable diorganopolysiloxane-based compositions. Still another object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent which is obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound. A further object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent which may be heated up to about 60° C. without decreasing the rate of crosslinking or the pot-life.
- organopolysiloxane elastomers comprising a mixture of (1) a product obtained from the reaction of (a) silicic acid esters and (b) an organic tin compound of the formula
- R represents a butyl or an octyl radical and R 1 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, in which no more than one of the valences of the carbon atom bonded to the carboxyl group is saturated by a carbon atom other than that of the carboxyl group, and (2) an organic tin compound of the following formula

Description
This is a division of application Ser. No. 295,961, filed Aug. 25, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,360,654.
The present invention relates to silicon-tin compounds and more particularly to silicon-tin compounds that are obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and organic tin compounds and their use as crosslinking agents for organopolysiloxane compositions.
Compositions obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters such as tetraethyl orthosilicate, and organic tin compounds such as dibutyltin dilaurate and their use as crosslinking agents for organopolysiloxane compositions to form elastomers are described in German Pat. No. 1,167,527 to Farbenfabriken Bayer Aktiengesellschaft. U.S. Pat. No. 3,186,963 to Lewis also discloses a catalyst system for vulcanizing silicone elastomer stocks at room temperature in which the catalyst is prepared by heating for at least 15 minutes at a temperature of from 80° to 200° C. a tin salt of a carboxylic acid and an alkylsilicate or partial hydrolysis products of said silicates.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,927,052 to Vizurraga discloses a polymerization catalyst for preparing polyesters which is obtained from the reaction of a first silicon compound of the formula ##STR1## with a second compound of the formula ##STR2## in a mole ratio of from 1.1 to 20 moles of the second compound per mole of the first compound for from two to six hours, in which M may represent a tin atom, R2 and R4 are chlorine or hydroxy groups and the other R substituents are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, acyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, and hydrogen, provided that at least one of R5, R6, R7 and R8 is not hydrogen.
Another reference which discloses silicon-tin compounds as condensation catalysts in the preparation of organopolysiloxane elastomers is U.S. Pat. No. 4,137,249 to Wohlfarth et al in which the silicon-tin compounds are prepared by reacting a silane of the formula Ra Si(OR4)4-a with a dialkyltin salt of the formula
R.sup.1 R.sup.2 Sn(OOCR.sup.3).sub.2
wherein R represents an alkyl or phenyl radical, R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl radicals, R4 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, a is 0 or 1 in a molar ratio of (4-a) moles of dialkyltin salt per mole of silane at a temperature of from 50° to 160° C., while removing from 80 to 100 percent of the theoretical amount of by-product ester formed from the reaction.
The products obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound of this invention have certain advantages over the silicon-tin compounds described in the prior art in crosslinking diorganopolysiloxane-based compositions to form elastomers. For example, diorganopolysiloxane based compositions containing the product obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound can be crosslinked much more rapidly without decreasing the pot-life of the composition. Moreover, the crosslinking agents obtained from the reaction of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound may be stored at room temperature or heated to a temperature up to 60° C. without a substantial decrease in the crosslinking rate or without substantially altering the pot-life.
Therefore, it is one of the objects of this invention to provide a crosslinking agent for organopolysiloxane compositions. Another object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent for room temperature vulcanizable diorganopolysiloxane-based compositions. Still another object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent which is obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound. A further object of this invention is to provide a crosslinking agent which may be heated up to about 60° C. without decreasing the rate of crosslinking or the pot-life.
The foregoing objects and others which will become apparent from the following description are accomplished in accordance with this invention, generally speaking, by providing crosslinking agents which may be combined with hydroxyl containing diorganopolysiloxanes to form organopolysiloxane elastomers comprising a mixture of (1) a product obtained from the reaction of (a) silicic acid esters and (b) an organic tin compound of the formula

wherein R represents a butyl or an octyl radical and R1 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, in which no more than one of the valences of the carbon atom bonded to the carboxyl group is saturated by a carbon atom other than that of the carboxyl group, and (2) an organic tin compound of the following formula

The crosslinking agents of this invention are preferably prepared by reacting any monomer, dimer or polymer of silicic acid esters with an organic tin compound of formula (I). Examples of preferred silicic acid esters are silicic acid ethyl esters or silicic acid 2-methoxyethyl esters. Other examples of silicic acid esters are tetraethyl silicate, hexaethoxydisiloxane and ethoxypolysiloxane having an SiO2 content of about 40 percent by weight, also known as "ethylsilicate 40", as well as tetra(2-methoxyethyl)-silicate.
In preparing the reaction products of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound represented by formula (I), it is possible to use a single silicic acid ester or a mixture of two or more different types of silicic acid esters, for example a mixture consisting of tetraethyl orthosilicate and hexaethoxydisiloxane.
It is preferred that the silicic acid ethyl ester be used in an amount of from 2 to 6 parts by weight for each part by weight of the organic tin compound of formula (I). The radicals represented by R in formula (I) may be the same or different. Also in formula (II), the R radicals may be the same or different. Moreover, the R radicals in the organic tin compound represented by formula (II) may be the same or different from the R radicals in the organic tin compound of formula (I).
The radicals represented by R1 in the organic tin compound of formula (I) may be the same or different. The R2 radicals in the organic tin compound of formula (II) may also be the same or different.

Examples of preferred organic tin compounds represented by formula (I) are di-n-butyltin diacetate, di-n-octyltin diacetate, di-n-butyltin dilaurate and di-n-octyltin dilaurate.
In preparing the reaction products of silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound represented by formula (I), it is possible to use a single organic tin compound or a mixture of two or more such tin compounds.
The reaction products of the silicic acid esters and an organic tin compound represented by formula (I) are prepared by heating a mixture containing a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound to a temperature of from 50° to 200° C. for from 15 minutes up to 15 hours.

Preferred examples of such alkane acids are 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, so-called KOCH acids which consist of a mixture of carboxylic acids having from 9 to 15 carbon atoms per molecule in which in 90 percent by weight of the acids the carboxyl group is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom, and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1-pentanoic acid. Another acid which may be used is, for example, cyclohexanemonocarboxylic acid.

A single organic tin compound represented by formula (II) or a mixture containing two or more of such organic tin compounds may be combined with the reaction product obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound represented by formula (I).
The tin compound represented by formula (II) is preferably present in an amount of from 0.1 to 0.2 mole per mole of the tin compound represented by formula (I) which was used in the preparation of the reaction product of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound of formula (I).
It is preferred that the organic tin compound of formula (II) be combined with the reaction product of the silicic acid ester and the organic tin compound represented by formula (I) at least during some of the time the reaction product is being stored. However, the organic tin compound represented by formula (II) may be added to the reaction product only shortly prior to its use.
In addition to the product obtained from the reaction of a silicic acid ester and an organic tin compound of formula (I) and an organic tin compound of formula (II), the mixtures of this invention may also contain additional substances such as excess silicic acid esters, hydrophobic silicon dioxide having a surface area of at least 20 m2 /g, emollients, soluble dyes and fragrances.
Another embodiment of this invention is a process for preparing organopolysiloxane elastomers which comprises mixing a hydroxyl terminated diorganopolysiloxane composition with a mixture containing (1) a product obtained from the reaction of (a) a silicic acid ester and (b) an organic tin compound of the formula
R.sub.2 Sn(OCOR.sup.1).sub.2 (I),
wherein R represents a butyl or an octyl radical and R1 is the same or different and represents monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, in which no more than one of the valences of the carbon atom bonded to the carboxyl group is saturated by a carbon atom other than that of the carboxyl group, and (2) an organic tin compound of the formula

The same hydroxyl terminated diorganopolysiloxanes which have been or could have been used heretofore in the preparation of organopolysiloxane elastomers from diorganopolysiloxanes containing Si-bonded hydroxyl groups, a condensation catalyst and a silicon compound having at least three condensable groups per molecule, may be used in the compositions of this invention. In the present invention, the reaction product consisting of a silicic acid ethyl ester and an organic tin compound of formula (I) is to be considered as a combination of a condensation catalyst with a silicon compound containing at least three condensable groups per molecule. These organopolysiloxanes may be represented by the following general formula:
HOR.sub.2.sup.3 SiO(SiR.sub.2.sup.3 O).sub.x SiR.sub.2.sup.3 OH
in which R3 represents the same or different, monovalent hydrocarbon radicals or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radicals and/or polymeric hydrocarbon radicals and x represents an integer having a value of at least 1.
Although this is generally not indicated in the above formula, siloxane units other than diorganosiloxane units (SiR2 3 O) may be present within or along the siloxane chain. Examples of such other siloxane units which are generally present more or less as impurities, are those having the formulas R3 SiO3/2, R3 3 SiO1/2 and SiO4/2, where R3 is the same as above. If such other siloxane units are present, it is preferred that they be present in an amount less than 1 mole percent.
Examples of hydrocarbon radicals represented by R3 are alkyl radicals such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, hexyl and octyl radicals; alkenyl radicals such as vinyl, allyl, ethylallyl and the butadienyl radical; as well as aryl radicals such as the phenyl radical.
Examples of substituted hydrocarbon radicals represented by R3 are halogenated hydrocarbon radicals such as the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl radical, chlorophenyl and bromotolyl radicals; as well as the cyanoalkyl radicals, such as the beta-cyanoethyl radical.
Also, R3 represents substituted and unsubstituted polymeric hydrocarbon radicals and/or copolymers which are bonded to silicon via carbon. These polymeric radicals or copolymers are obtained from the polymerization of at least one polymerizable monomer containing a carbon-carbon double bond, such as ethylene, styrene, vinylacetate, n-butylacrylate, n-butylmethacrylate or acrylonitrile. Siloxanes containing polymeric hydrocarbon radicals are referred to as modified organopolysiloxanes.
Because they are readily available, it is preferred that at least 80 percent of the number of R3 radicals be methyl radicals. Other radicals represented by R3 are preferably vinyl and/or phenyl radicals.
The viscosity of the diorganopolysiloxanes used in the process of this invention is generally from 100 to 106 mPa.s at 25° C.
Mixtures of various diorganopolysiloxanes may likewise be employed.
In preparing organopolysiloxane elastomers, a mixture consisting of (1) the product obtained from the reaction of (a) a silicic acid ester and (b) an organic tin compound represented by formula (I) and (2) an organic tin compound represented by formula (II), is mixed with a hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane in an amount of from 2 to 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of the diorganopolysiloxane to be crosslinked.
In addition to the hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and the crosslinking agents of this invention, the compositions may also include other substances that have been or could have been employed heretofore in organopolysiloxane compositions which may be crosslinked to form elastomers. Examples of such other substances are reinforcing and non-reinforcing fillers, such as pyrogenically produced silicon dioxide, diatomaceous earth, quartz meal, gypsum, precipitated calcium sulfate, aluminum silicate as well as polyvinyl chloride powder, pigments, water, soluble dyes, fragrances, corrosion-inhibitors, emollients such as trimethylsiloxy endblocked dimethylpolysiloxanes which are liquid at room temperature, polyglycols which may be etherified and/or esterified, and agents which serve to improve the adhesion of the organopolysiloxane elastomers to the bases on which they are applied, such as epoxyalkylsilanes, as well as solvents.
In the process of this invention, the hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane, the crosslinking agent and any other substances which are generally present in organopolysiloxanes which are cured to elastomers are preferably mixed at temperatures of from about -5° up to about 40° C., and under atmospheric pressure. However, higher or lower temperatures and pressures may also be used.
